Maintaining Short Text Editor Settings 
You can adapt the short text editor so that it meets your specific requirements by maintaining the settings in transaction SE63. We recommend that you use the standard settings.
Features
To maintain the short text editor settings, access the initial screen of transaction SE63, choose 
Utilities 
Settings 
, and then click on the Short Text Editor tab page.
The checkboxes in the Display group box are selected in the standard setting.
Display New Texts
If this checkbox is selected, the system displays an object's new (red) lines in the short text editor.
Display Modified Texts
If this checkbox is selected, the system displays an object's modified (yellow) lines.
Display 100% Text Matches
If this checkbox is selected, the system displays an object's translated (green) lines.
Display Proposals
If this checkbox is selected, the system displays the best proposal beneath the translation line for each source text in the short text editor.
Display Comment for Object
If this checkbox is selected, and if a comment has been entered for the entire object, the system displays it in the short text editor above the very first line to be translated.
The checkboxes in the Workflow group box are deselected in the standard setting.
Save and Next
If you select this checkbox, you exit the short text editor when you save. If you call up short text objects in a worklist and then choose Sequential Processing, saving an object causes the system to open the next object to be processed in the worklist automatically. For more information on sequentially processing objects in a worklist, see Translating Objects via a Worklist.
Proposal Pool Maintenance Dialog Box
If you select this checkbox and then branch from the short text editor to the proposal pool, the system displays the proposal pool in a modal window, which you can move around in front of the short text editor screen. This means you can see the source text and proposal pool at the same time.
Extended Object Selection
If you select this checkbox and then directly access short text objects via the SE63 menu or text type ID, the system displays the real object types. If this checkbox is not selected, the system displays meta object types when short text object types are accessed directly in transaction SE63. For more information on meta object types, see Translating Objects Directly and refer to “Meta Object Types and R3TR Transport Objects”.
The settings in the Segmentation (when number of lines > 5 times segment size) group box affect the translation of segmented objects.
A maximum of 2,500 short text lines can be displayed in the short text editor. If an object contains more lines of source text, the object is segmented. You can only access the source texts for translation by calling up the various segments in the source text editor. This setting enables you to specify the number of source text lines as of which segmentation starts for an object. You can also define the size of the segments.
Segment Size (50-500)
The value you enter in this field determines the size of each segment, and the total number of source texts as of which an object is segmented. If you leave the standard value 50 unchanged, all objects containing five times this number of lines (that is, all objects containing 250 lines or more) are split into segments, each of which contains 50 lines. The standard value 50 is also the minimum value, because segmentation does not take place for objects containing fewer than 250 source text lines. If you enter a lower value and try to save your settings, the system displays a warning in the status bar of the Initial Screen: Standard Translation Environment. To protect system performance, the maximum segment size is 500 lines.
ExampleWhen large objects are segmented in the short text editor, you want each segment to consist of 50 source text lines. You leave the standard value 50 unchanged in the Segment Size (50–500) field. As soon as an object contains more than 250 source text lines, it is segmented. A table that contains 3,000 source text lines is divided into 60 segments, each of which contains 50 source text lines. An object containing 249 source text lines, however, is called up without segmentation because it does not exceed the segmentation threshold of 250 source text lines.
End of the example.Complete Evaluation of Segments
This checkbox is deselected in the standard setting. When segmented objects are called up for translation, the dialog box in which the individual segments are listed only indicates the number of new lines per segment.
If you select this checkbox and then call up a segmented object for translation, you can decide whether to display the number of modified lines for all segments, or just one segment.
